SITC Sparkathon Class of 2017

Twenty-nine young investigators were chosen to participate in the inaugural Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Sparkathon.

The 29 early career scientists, also known as the 2017 Cohort, provide a large swathe of expertise and represent numerous academic and medical institutions. They convened during a two-day retreat in Chicago on Aug. 28-29, 2017, engaging these experts in a 12- to 18-month program during which they will seek to collaboratively solve these major issues.
